mgc.sims.spiral {mgc}

Spiral Simulation

Description

A function for Generating a spiral simulation.

Usage

mgc.sims.spiral(n, d, eps = 0.4, a = 0, b = 5)

Arguments

n

the number of samples for the simulation.

d

the number of dimensions for the simulation setting.

eps

the noise level for the simulation. Defaults to 0.5.

a

the lower limit for the data matrix. Defaults -1.

b

the upper limit for the data matrix. Defaults to 1.

Value

a list containing the following:

X

[n, d] the data matrix with n samples in d dimensions.

Y

[n] the response array.

Details

Given: U \sim U(a, b) a random variable. Simumlates n points from Spiral(X, Y) \in \mathbf{R}^d \times \mathbf{R} where: X_i = U\, \textrm{cos}(\pi\, U)^d if i = d, and U\, \textrm{sin}(\pi U)\textrm{cos}^i(\pi U) otherwise

Y = U\, \textrm{sin}(\pi\, U) + \epsilon p N(0, 1)
